Demand an End to Pig Gestation Crates in New Jersey !

  • by: Peter G
  • recipient: Governor Phil Murphy,NJ Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling, and NJ Senator Bob Smith

*** I have updated the new Chairs of both the Senate and Assembly Committees.****

  The Bill to ban these inhumane crates in the State of New Jersey has been sitting in Committee in both the New Jersey State Senate and Assembly since May 31, 2018 and April 5, 2018 respectively. Each day that passes is a day too much for these highly intelligent, and sensitive animals to be suffering like that.
We must put pressure on the Committee Chairs to put this bill on the docket, so that it can be voted on and eventually sent to the Governor for his signature.
PLEASE call Senator Bob Smith, the Chair of the Environment and Energy Committee, and urge him to put Senate Bill S161 on the docket at the next committee meeting. He can be reached at     (732) 752-0770
On the Assembly side, PLEASE call Assemblyman Eric Houghtaling, the Chair of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee at  (732) 695-3371 and urge him to put the Assembly Bill A3752 on the docket at the next committee meeting.

Hi Everyone, I am so sorry for not updating you sooner, but Covid slowed the state Legislature to a virtual standstill. The legislature is just about back to normal. The bill (A5236/A3401) seems to have enough support in both the State Assembly and Senate. However, they must be posted for a vote BEFORE 12/31/21.
It is EXTREMELY important that you call the Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin (732-855-7441 and Senate President Sweeney 856-251-9801 and tell them to post the bill for a vote.

HI Everyone,
Both bills from the last Legislative Session were terminated as of December 31, 2019. The pigs need you to e-mail the Chairman of the Environment and Energy Committee (Senator Bob Smith), and the Chairman of the Agriculture Committee (Assemblyman Houghtaling). Ask them to post these bills at their next Committee meetings.

Hi,
Unfortunately, there still has been no activity in either the NJ State Assembly or the Senate. The Assembly and Senate bills are still sitting in committee. We need to let the Committee Chairman on both sides of the Legislature know that they must expedite this bill. Every day that passes with these poor animals in crates, is one day too many !!

Senate Chairman Bob Smith (732) 752-0770
